bump this to the top with a question .... Did anyone find out a good price yet on the cabin filter Toyota or other wise

*kimona* · 08-26-2007, 01:34 AM

You can buy a Purolator #C38188 A/C cabin filter (about $10) from an auto parts store .

caveatipse · 08-26-2007, 02:15 AM

So what is the answer? Does the filter cause overheating problems or not?

No! The simple reason Toyota didn't install a cabin A/C filter is because the OEM filter frame does not fit into the blower unit (which is crammed far to the left behind the glovebox).

However, you can gently twist a filter into the unit without using a frame.

I think this may have been mentioned before but I wanted to share that I bought 1 of the allergen-rated central air-style filters for $15 and cut it up using tin snips to create 8 cabin filters. I just used duct tape to finish off the non-paperboard edges.

8 great filters for $15 and 20 minutes of work.

Good idea!

That's what I did and it works great! I can't believe how much junk is in there already.

Black Yaris · 08-27-2007, 12:41 PM

yeah... after painting parts of my dash black, it showed much more dust

black2yaris · 08-28-2007, 04:34 AM

COOL............ Thanks BlackYaris...........

Super_BQ · 09-11-2007, 08:11 AM

HI Guys,

Just to let you know that my Yaris purchased in New Zealand also does NOT COME with the cabin filter. My Yaris has the 1NZFE (1.5L motor) 4 door hatch.

So it must be a world wide choice that Toyota decided to exclude the filter on even cars with the steering made on the opposite side.

This cracks me up, On page 159 of the US 2007 yaris sedan manual it says:

Quote:

The air filter should be installed properly in position. The use of air conditioning with the air filter removed may cause deteriorated dustproof performance and then affect air conditioning performance.

OK then where the !&@% is my filter?

I guess its off to autozone to find one...

slvryaris · 09-11-2007, 09:57 PM

I would take it to the dealer and get a free one. Just complain that the manual says what it says then they should give ya one. Just deal with a manager or something. They should give in. I am going to go and complain when I get my oil changed this week.

Hmmm... I would be interested to hear the dealers response. Please keep us informed.

slvryaris · 09-12-2007, 04:08 AM

I am thinking the same but it would be like not having an air filter in the intake well one is more sever then the other but...... It is suppose to be there and its not. No where in the manual does it say it is optional. I am sure if you bitched enough and say something like your gonna let Toyota know then I imagine they would give ya one since it is suppose to be in there and its not.

Newyaris · 09-12-2007, 08:26 AM

Please let us know about the result!

Here in Greece the filter is not included!
I have contacted (by email or phone) the Toyota offices in Greece, Europe (Belgium) and Japan and they gave me the same answer: "That's the way it is! No filter! Buy one if you like!"

*kimona* · 09-12-2007, 10:32 AM

Most of this info has been posted before (#73, 78, 84)) and in a few other threads, but for those of you who missed some of it...

As I understand the situation, Toyota did not include the A/C filter because the filter frame will not fit due to the position of the blower. Toyota believed that if the filter frame could not fit, then the filter could not be installed properly. The frame and filter are an assembly unit. So, they just left it out! It's that simple as far as Toyota was concerned.

Unfortunately, the owners manual refers to the A/C cabin filter probably because it should definitely be standard equipment and it was assumed it would be... only later to discover the filter frame wouldn't fit. More unfortunately, the dealers know absolutely nothing about this situation and are totally in the dark when confronted with it. Seems to be a breakdown in communication at several levels.

I only discovered that the car had no filter when something from my glove box got sucked into the blower and began making all kinds of noise. Other yarisworld members have had the same experience. Indeed, it is a problem!

Thankfully, we at yarisworld have found that a filter will in fact fit (with a bit of gentle massaging) and function quite well without the filter frame. It's a quick, easy, and inexpensive install.

At this point, we've learned that a Purolator filter #C38188 and Bosch filter #P3750 will fit adequately right out of the box.

So now the qustion has risen once again... what will Toyota and/or the dealer do about all this?
